After many years of hating Michigan winters, the wife and I finally decided to do something about that. 2003, 550 Pantera. We take delivery of it on Saturday. They're forcasting 10" of snow for Tuesday! WhoooHooo!

Nice, The Cadilac of sleds.
Looks though you can ride a 1000 miles on that.
I added an older cougar to the collection for the same reason, she likes to go once and a while, but kind of cramped on a indy 650 standerd.

Nice looking sled. That 550 motor is bullet proof also. Should run for many years.

Have fun!!

 

[alleydude]

Thanks folks. Glad to know I made a good choice. Jumping into this sport rather blind is scary. Can't wait to get it, and I'm hearing reports of snow for SUNDAY!

[Fendrguy]

Mine is a 90, Heavy, Hell ya. can barely pick up the front end.
that tripple motor weighs in.
found some Decker pipes, put them on. Fatten the carbs and put a Comet clutch on her.
the sled does Rip, love the tripple power out of it.
Bought the sled with 400 mls on it back a few years ago from an old man that thought it was the sled for him.
the guy rode it couple of times and said it was 2 much for him, My jaw dropped when he showed it to me.
The sled sat in his garage for a long time, it was mint.
I paid 1500 for it, the RIGHT place at the right time.
I love those deals.

[Fendrguy]

[alleydude]

Eating snow is okay, it's the YELLOW snow ya gotta watch out for...

It's here, it's here! We also picked up a 1998 340 Jag for the 16-year-old.

 

[Fendrguy]

Damn, them Jags have come a long way compared to the 80 I had.
